Jungalow: A Portal to Vibrant, Creative, and Sustainable Living
Jungalow, a brand that seamlessly blends vibrancy and sustainability, took root in Justina Blakeney’s small, plant-filled living room in 2009. What began as a humble design blog has since blossomed into a lifestyle brand, celebrated for its bold design ethos and quality home goods.
Signature Jungalow Design
Jungalow’s unique offerings come to life through the creative genius of Justina Blakeney. From the initial sketch to the final product, every piece undergoes a transformation that involves a dedicated design team based in Los Angeles and handpicked manufacturing partners. The collections exude Blakeney’s distinct style, infusing homes with a dash of color, life, and joy.
The store’s rotating selection of high-quality, limited edition art prints stem from Blakeney’s original artwork. Further, a carefully curated array of creative goods from around the globe imbues any home with Jungalow’s distinctive ‘jungalicious’ aesthetic.
Emphasizing Sustainability and Social Responsibility
At the core of Jungalow’s ethos lies a deep commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. Aiming to create products made with love, care, and an emphasis on environmentally conscious materials and practices, the brand connects with local communities and ecosystems.
Products range from ceramics manufactured in Vietnam to textiles woven in India, and wallpapers printed in the U.S.A., reflecting a global artisan network. Collaborations with these artisans ensure the creation of high-quality goods while supporting the people, communities, and environment involved in the manufacturing process.
Sustainable Materials and Packaging
A focus on sustainability sees Jungalow incorporating natural, recycled, recyclable, and compostable materials in their products and packaging. This approach also encourages suppliers to reduce the use of single-use plastics and styrofoam, opting instead for more sustainable packaging solutions.
Environmentally Friendly Ceramics
The non-toxic finishes on the Justina Blakeney ceramics are environmentally friendly. The manufacturing process also prioritizes water-efficiency, employing waterless dyeing, finishing, and printing methods.
Ethical Textiles
Handcrafted in India, Justina Blakeney rugs embody tradition, from dip-dyeing the wool to the intricate task of weaving. Jungalow’s pillows undergo the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 test, a certification system for textile materials, to ensure no harmful substances are present. Wherever possible, organic fabrics are incorporated, and fabric remnants are upcycled into new products.
The Jungalow experience invites individuals to tap into their creativity and express their unique style through home décor. By bringing the wilderness into homes, Jungalow enhances the color, pattern, and sustainability of living spaces. Welcome to the wild world of Jungalow, a realm of untamed and sustainable design.
